And of course we must use lots of electricity to charge those inefficient, obsolete imported cell phones we overpaid for. Something is wrong in the chart above: It is difficult to store electricity, and Venezuela doesn't import or export it in significant amounts. The blue bars mean we are producing record amounts. Yet, we have had terrible shortages and blackouts. Worse, despite an increasing population and lots more gadgets, consumption went down. Either production is really lower; consumption is much higher; or we have one of the worst distribution networks in the world. We need solar panels made in Venezuela on every house, office and school. It will help with unemployment, our environment and our cash flow.
